Reveal All Fear Nothing Rope Set – Twisted Monk Rope and Madison Young Together at Last

daddy.june.3-2

‘REVEAL ALL, FEAR NOTHING’ SET

Just in time for Daddy’s Day, Twisted Monk has teamed up with artist, writer, and performer Madison Young to bring you a special treat.
Monk has lovingly created a color near and dear to his own heart- a rich, vibrant, hunter or ‘Daddy’ green to pair with Madison Young’s recent memoir of the same name, which was called “The Real Life 50 Shades of Grey” by the SF Weekly and “..Powerful, erotic prose” by Academy Award winner Diablo Cody. Actress Margaret Cho says of Young “…an incredible and singular force in the world of art….Her individualism, innovation, insight and innate intelligence…is downright inspirational.”
Since their first meeting almost a decade ago, Madison has continued to serve as both an inspiration and a mentor to Monk. When she suggested this pairing of words and rope, we leaped at the opportunity to work with her again.
The ‘Reveal All, Fear Nothing’ limited edition set includes:
  • Autographed copy of Daddy: A Memoir
  • Limited edition screen-printed canvas bag
  • Two 30ft lengths of special edition Daddy Green hemp rope
  • Free pair of safety shears
[Sets are in production now, and will begin shipping June 10th]   BUY YOUR REVEAL ALL FEAR NOTHING ROPE SET TODAY HERE

8:00pm (Reading)

8:30pm (Q&A with the Author and Book signing)

Sitwell’s Coffee

324 Ludlow Ave

Cincinnati, Ohio

Close your eyes.  Now picture yourself  sitting amongst a cafe bustling with a thick palpable energy of artistry, eagerly awaiting author and feminist porn icon, Madison Young to step up onto the small stage, with her recently released memoir, “Daddy” clutched firmly in her hands.  As this San Franciscan kinkster and radical performance artist reads to you with passion and intimacy you feel as if you are simultaneously the only one in the room and a part of something bigger than yourself,  as she opens her lips and shares her stories of heroism, heart break, and struggles in the fight for sexual freedom and the visceral journey of sexual discovery through the lens of a feminist submissive who grew up in Ohio.

Your hands are sweaty and your heart is palpitating like wild stallions as you raise your hand to ask a question, to be a part of the conversation.  You extend a copy of “Daddy” and ask for Madison to sign it, her rouged lips meet the pages under her inky scribble, a gester of her unbridled amorous nature, that will accompany you through your own private reading of the book.

Madison Young is delighted to read from her intimate and critically acclaimed feminist erotic literary sensation –  Daddy: A Memoir – which was called “The Real Life 50 Shades of Grey” by the SF Weekly and ..Powerful, erotic prose.” by Academy Award winner Diablo Cody while Actress Margaret Cho says of Young “…an incredible and singular force in the world of art….her individualism, innovation, insight and innate intelligence …is downright inspirational.” .

Madison will be appearing in Cincinnati, Ohio at Sitwell’s Coffee to read in person from Daddy: A Memoir on December 18th at 8pm at Sitwell’s Coffee.

Madison’s real life literary narrative ushers the reader into a world of a young girl from Ohio who leaves the heartland for California in search of a sense of belonging.  Swan dive down this wild rabbit hole as author Madison Young pairs a sense of both strength and vulnerability into her literary journey of carnal sex, desire,  and BDSM with fierce feminist ideology in this courageous account of a young woman coming of age and finding home.

Madison Young, author and radical feminist performance artist and director, spoke of her excitement  about the reading stating “I’m so thrilled to be reading at Sitwell’s. Many of my early writing as a teenager took place over a cup of coffee right here.  It feels really powerful and exciting to be returning to my home town with my story and connecting with a new generation of artists in the Cincinnati area.”.

The reading will be followed by a to not be missed Q&A and book signing with Madison Young.

The Press LOVES Daddy!

“I first met Madison Young when we performed together on the same bill at the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco. I was immediately struck by the wonderful mass of contradictions. Smart but humble. Cute but fierce. Physical but articulate. Frankly, everything you’d want in a porn star. I’ve been following her career ever since. I was so happy when she took her revolutionary ideas of sexuality and began directing, creating filmed sex that’s the next step in the evolution of erotic filmmaking.”David Henry Sterry, author, activist, performer, muckraker, book doctor at The Huffington Post

“Not many 33 year olds pen a memoir – not many 33 year olds are Madison Young. Daddy was on my list of summer reads and it didn’t disappoint. I found myself rooting for Madison…cheering her on as she funded her art gallery through sex work…tearing up as she suffered relationship difficulties…warming over at the birth of her daughter (Annie Sprinkle was with her in the delivery room)… Love this woman.” Carlin Ross entrepreneur, sex educator, and writer

Check out these recent write up from David Henry Sterry of The Huffington Post and Carlin Ross, Entrepreneur, Sex Educator, and one half of Betty Dodson and Carlin Ross!

Ella Dawson LOVES Daddy!

ella blog copy

“Young is hyper aware of the seeming contradictions in her story, of being a submissive and a powerful independent artist, of being a mother and a sex worker, of being a feminist and the partner of a not always ideal man. She challenges why these identities are so often dismissed as incompatible at varying levels of her own comfort.” – Ella Dawson (Team Madison Literary Intern) reviews Daddy!
